Awkward! As Lourdes Leon is turned away from the Marc Jacobs show, FEMAIL reveals the OTHER stars who have faced MORTIFYING rejections from events and venues - from Justin and Hailey Bieber to Rihanna
- Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon was denied entry to a Marc Jacobs show
- It seems as though despite their status, being a celebrity doesn't give you access
- FEMAIL has revealed the other stars who have been rejected from events
Enjoying 'celebrity status' affords you plenty of perks - and often grants you access to some of the most exclusive parties and venues in the world.
However, even the most famous of faces can find their star power proving useless at times when it comes to winning over strict bouncers or slying their way onto tight guest lists.
This week, Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, 26, got a tough lesson in what it's like to be just a 'regular person' when she was turned away from a Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York after arriving late - despite once serving as a face of the famed designer brand.
But Lourdes is far from the only celebrity to have been met with such a mortifying refusal. In fact, she is the latest in a long line of stars who have seen their A-list status completely ignored at the doors of some of the world's hottest venues.
To add insult to injury, while the bouncers and security guards may not have been impressed by the A-listers fame, many of these embarrassing incidents have been caught on camera thanks to the presence of paparazzi who eagerly snapped away as stars like Justin Bieber and Rihanna found themselves rejected from a particular location.

On Thursday night, the 26-year-old was met with a humiliating slap in the face after arriving after doors closed
On Thursday night, Lourdes was given a humiliating slap in the face after she was not able to enter because she arrived after the doors had closed.
The embarrassing incident occurred merely two years after Lourdes was dubbed the face of the fashion brand's spring 2021 campaign.

Despite celebrities elite status and ability to pay, partnership, sing, and selfie their way onto the red carpet, their paparazzi photos seem to have no standing when it comes to a night out as many have been turned away from various bars.
After a 'nepo baby' was denied entry, FEMAIL has revealed the other stars who have been rejected from clubs, bars, events, and even restaurants.
